(I don't mind spoiled movies but I hate spoiled books. Is that silly? Is it because it takes longer to read a book than watch a movie? Perhaps.) Anyway, glad you loved the book, too!

I'm on the waiting list at the library for her most recent book, though I've heard it should be a hard read for me for various reasons. And I'll be you are right that they don't pay enough attention to the dad and the father. I thought, especially this second time around, that they really "made" the book. Good point!

I give you permission to ruin the ending for me since I'm pretty sure I've already, accidentally-on-purpose, come across the change that they make. Thanks! (And enjoy!)

I'm supposed to go see this movie with my mom in a few hours and I'm curious about it, mainly because I HATED the twist at the end of the book. It bothered me so much. And after reading more Jodi Picoult books, it seems like most of them follow the same pattern and it gets tiresome to read. I literally groaned when I read her last book because her unpredictable twists have now become predictable. Anyway, I might need to reread this book after the movie (since it's too late to reread it now). But it does remain one of my favorite books also. .-= Ari´s last blog ..<a href="http://curiousillusion.com/2009/06/29/and-now-im-broke/" rel="nofollow">And now I’m broke…</a> =-.

I read it when it first came out too. For some reason I even remember picking it out and buying it because, although I can't remember my times tables, I can remember totally unnecessary things. I think my views on the decisions made in the book might change now that I'm a mother. Plus it was the first Picoult book I read, thus my favorite. I won't be seeing this in the theaters as I also never love movies based on books. Don't need to waste that much money when I can wait for redbox to have it for a buck. .-= Kristen´s last blog ..<a href="http://permanentlymine.com/index.php/2009/06/29/stupid-bumper-stickers/" rel="nofollow">stupid bumper stickers</a> =-.

It's still my favorite book (I do like most of her others, though) and when I heard that they changed the ending, I wondered what idiot thought THAT one up. I'll go see it because I cannot help myself, but I'm already set to be disappointed. And I know, given the short timeframe of the movie, that the father and brother's stories will be given NO coverage and they really added to the book in my opinion. I agree with you!

Just as you say, it took my breath away - to question everything you think you know and think you understand. However, I am a bit horrified that they changed the ending for the movie. I just don't see how it can be compelling that way. .-= ClassyFabSarah´s last blog ..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/ClassyAndFabulousLifeAsAnAlmost-college-graduate/~3/a4JmRLuB8tE/bloggy-bake-off.html" rel="nofollow">Bloggy Bake-Off</a> =-.

Fortunately, I read the ending as I was getting ready to sleep. If I would have read it in public, I would have looked like a fool bawling my eyes out. I, too, am afraid to watch the movie now. And, ummm, they changed the ending?! That alone ruins it before I even see it, but of course I'll end up watching it and complaining after. Lol.
